Jan Nickerson of Riverview, NB, passed away at The Moncton Hospital on June 17, 2026, at the age of 81. Born in September 1944 in Moncton, NB, Jan was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who built a life of warmth and purpose in her community.

After graduating from teacher's college in 1965, Jan devoted her career to teaching and later to library work. A longstanding member of Trinity United Church, she had a deep love of travel and, above all, cherished being surrounded by children — through her teaching, the reading circles she led at libraries, and the grandchildren upon whom she doted. An incredibly kind person, Jan was unfailingly friendly and loving, always looking for the good in people and in every situation.

She is survived by her husband E. Richard Nickerson; her sons Darren Nickerson and David Nickerson; and her cherished grandchildren Taylor Nickerson, Cordelia Nickerson, and Valente Hidalgo; her sister Sandra; as well as many other relatives and friends. Jan was predeceased by her parents Esther (Hawkes) and Allen Lutes, and her sisters Claudia and Elaine.

A loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, she will be deeply missed by all who knew her. May she rest in peace and live on in the lives of those who love her. Arrangements for a service with a reception to follow at Cobb’s Funeral Home will be announced at a later date and have been entrusted to Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Rd, Riverview (506-869-2007).

In memory of Jan, donations to the Friends of The Moncton Hospital or the Alzheimer Society of Canada would be appreciated by her family. Online sympathies and condolences can be expressed at www.cobbsfuneralhome.ca
